I think you havent really sold the datsun, its the floor plan of the 200 with the shell of the datsun thrown on top. Brilliant.

Car looks great tho dave, rear quarters inside havent been sprayed because your fitting those carbon cards yeah?

Just thought it a good time to do so when the dash surround is off.
There is quite a bit around the the back of the fusebox,pedalbox and heater but it rips out without removing the main heater control bits and the fusebox clips out anyway.

It's a pain because the photo's don't show how green and bright the colour actually is but I'm loving it! Actually starting to regret it's gonna to be going out on track :whistle:

And they informed me the snot like to c0ck a wheel when it's being pushed outside and down a tiny ramp... well happy with that because I've always wanted to photo of me going around a tight corner while tripodding just like the old golf's use to :)

I would have taken photo's of the other parts in the spray booth but got chatting and forgot plus I'm an arse :(

After talking and looking at a few of the cars he's built for himself up there, I'm really thinking of getting polycarbonate windows..... going to ring Plastics 4 Performance first thing Monday morning and see what they can do for me and if I could get them by Friday or Saturday, even if it means me going to collect them myself, ROAD TRIP!!

If all goes well then the snot should be back with me either over the weekend or the following mid week! Then it's time to get her ready for Nurburgring..... OH YES!!!!

Thanks fella, I have seen the work this place have done in the past and it's always been an amazing job!

They were impressed that I had all new dealer panels, so I hope that shows them how serious I am about this car.

Just don't know which tint of polycarbonate window to go for:

Clear
Bronze
Grey

Shamed they didn't have green as one (colour tint of the oem windows and the front window)

Telford ay it...
Looks a really nice job, would love mine to be looking so fresh!

Lock and wiper removal makes the world of difference, best thing I had done to mine.

Nah not liking them, use to have them on my SJ's did the job good but look crap on the Ibiza.

They still waiting for the Aerocatch pin's for the bonnet... was shocked he sprayed the bonnet before fitting the pins
